... aha, something slightly different to the I Challenge Thee is afoot! Oh yes, a new challenge has been thunked up by me and Ellen... create a crafty recipe... and see what comes of it. This time the recipe was devised last Sunday, during a Skype sesh and, whilst we didn't finish the pieces during the sesh, it has been the best fun playing with stuff that I have been ignoring for a while.

The recipe was to make a Hanging using:

5 Mini CanvasScrew EyesDimensional embellies - must include metal!Sari SilkTape - any flavourStencils with medium of choiceBook TextWords/Message of choicePaintInk SpraysButterfliesAny additional embellies that we couldn't live withoutAND... Something old or neglected from our stash.

I have to say... this pic of the hanging all together is truly cack itself. For some reason, no matter how I tried to take the photo, it has come out all diddy and daft... so, I took the liberty of taking a load more pics... so you can see all the details in full.

My neglected piece of stash was a sheet of acetate printed with butterflies that I bought about 382 years ago and have never used. The old bit of my stash is my Altered Originals Spray - now called Dylusions. It is the most gorge orange colour... I know... me... using orange... the day after using pink! Whatever next???Lime green perhaps??? Anyways... I will shut up now so you can look at the pics....

Please do hop on over to see Ellen's totes-amazeballs creation... I just love the fact that we have the same recipe and come up with something so different from each other... As I just uploaded the pics I have seen that I have done a boo-boo... I forgot to edge four of the canvases with Black Dabber... doh! I shall go and rectify that now! Thanks for looking... have a lovely day! TTFN

Am loving your new pink and orange phase, that box yesterday was totally yummy too. I am really looking forward to these recipe challenges the pair of you come up with! Happened to be over at Ellen's already and hers is totally wowser too!!

Delish! Love the orange! And those acetate butterflies are gorgeous! Let's face it, I just love the whole thing, and especially the tiny metal frame at the top - adorable! And since you mentioned it maybe we can include "lime green" in our next recipe! :) Hugs! Els xxx

Really love the orange Hels, love the flowers too, and the butterflies and, and, and everything. It is truly gorgeous and so is Ellen's, so different but wonderful too. Can't wait to see what the lime green might involve! A x

it's gorgeous Hels. have to admit i don't use much orange either - just now and again i have an idea for some orange card stock i purchased a long time ago - why i bought it i don't know but i'm making sure it gets used! can't wait to see if you do work with some lime green lol hugs Karen x

You can just tell how much fun you had doing tlnis! I loves orange (especially in foil covered in chocolate and you have to tAp to unwrap!) Gorgeously fandabadosy my dear Hels. ps. hope your dear Grim isnt working too hard but is enjoying himself? xx

I try to make original pieces of artwork and incorporate as many techniques as possible. I gather ideas by experimenting with all the crafty products I have in my stash and also from other talented crafters. I try to turn those ideas into something original for me to use on my artwork. I will always give credit to inspirational artists who help me travel on my journey through art and greatly appreciate anyone who uses my own ideas and inspiration to give me the credit for them on their Blog posts.
